A Quaker Wedding.

A queer Quaker wedding ceremony
was recently performed at San Francis
co. The parties were Mr.. II. A. Smith
and Miss Ella j. Brady. 1t is one of
the peculiarities of the San Francisco
code that the mayor has not the legal
power to perform the marriage SER
vice; hence, when the Quaker bride and
groom called on him, he secured the
services Of Judge Wilson. After silent
prayer. all stood in semi-circle. The
Judge then used the simple words of
the Quaker contract, and declared the
couple man and wife. The bride had

THiEvlNo CASH GIRLS.
How the Majority OF Them Invest the Pro-
eeeds of Their Crimes.

eeeds of Their Crimes.
A stout, well-dressed man sauntercd
into the lunch-rooff connected with
one of the uptown dry goods stores
the other day. His keen blue eyes TOOK
in the occupants of the room, but he
seemed to be entirely occupied with his
thoughts as he stood at one of the win
dcws, apparently looking out into the
street.
A little cash girl came iats-shefoofr
and sat down at one of the tables re-
served for employees. In a moment she
was joined by another cash girl. and
this conversation ensued:
MARY" said the first little girl,
"what are you going to have for
lunehP"
''I am going to have a sandwich and
glass of milk replied Mary.
80, am going to have more than
that" said the first girl, with nod;
'my mother gave me a quarter to
spend for lunch"
The stout man did not appea- to pay
any attention to this conversation, but
when the two girls had finished and
gone away he walked up to the waiter
and asked:
"What did Lille German buyp"
"She bought chicken salad and ice
cream" replied the waiter.
"How much did it cost?"
Thirty cents" was the reply.
The stout man nodded, and, leaving
the room, walked down stairs to where
the cash girls were busily floating
around. Quickly singing out the one
he was in search of, he called her aside
into a room which was fitted up like an
office.
Nov, Lille" he said, II want you
to tell me where you got the money to
pay for your expensive lunch to-day" "
Lille turned all the colors of the
rainbow, but, assuming an air of inno-
cence, said:
Il got 1t from my mother"
"Very well," said the stout man.
Where does your mother live? l am
going up to see her and ask her about
it,
The little rogue was now thoroughly
frightened and burst into tears. After
q short interval she confessed that she
had stolen the money from a parcel.
She received severe talking to, after
! which she was taken before the super
intendent and discharged.
These young ones are the torment
Of my life,'' said the detective to the
reporter. MANY of them are as ex-
pert as professionals at thieving, and
can lie with the assurance of a boss
bunco steerer. Every day word comes
from one of the counters that wrong
change has been received. o, Of
course, the cash girl didn't take it +!
The tears well up in her eyes, and you
feel like kicking yourself for having
breathed a word against such a cherub.
All the time she is lying like a small
sized Satan. The first question de-
tective asks himself when he suspects
a person of theft is: What has become
of the booty? Then he waits to see
the thief dispose of it. That's what |
do with these little thieves. | have
found that when they steal their nat
ural desire is to get rid Of their money
right away. The lunch counter is the
place they come to do it. When / see
one Of them indulging in luxuries and
eating as much in one day as she earns
in two then know the cause and make
no bones of accusing her right away. "

CAS- soon as the recruits, attract
ed by the manifold consideration
set forth on the poster outside, come
in to us, the officer said, they are
examined by our physician who
test their constitutions in every
possible manner. In case they pass
this ordeal, which is very severe.
they are examined as to their men,
tai qualifications, to ascertain
whether they are able to read and
write, as required. Those who
come through this are then allowed
to enlist for FIVE years service in
the corps
Do any of the men re-enlist at
ter serving the full period p asked
the reporter.
oh, yes was the reply. 4
should say that a majority of them
do so. You must not understand
that all who enlist serve FIVE years,
for large number of them desert
after few months. They are
poor lot, those fellows, and only
come into the service as sort of
make shift, when they have nothing
else to do. We do not care much
when they desert, for we always
aim to keep the corps full of good
men who will stay. AS an induce
ment for them to remain in the
service, we offer increased pay for
each succeeding term they serve.
When man has served for thirty
